The smell of childhood
There is nothing like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. It brings me back to my childhood in Massachusetts where apple pie was the dessert of choice at all holidays; Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any other time of year. Somehow, we could never get enough of it.
What's your favorite pie?
To this day, it is still my favorite pie and now I've found a way to enjoy every bite without any refined sugar, flour, or loads of butter. Cue these delicious warm skillet cinnamon apples.
A healthier choice
Feel free to sub brown sugar if that is what you have on hand, but I really encourage you to try coconut palm sugar. This palm sugar is reminiscent of brown sugar but with a lower glycemic index.
To peel or not to peel
This dish calls for apples that have not been peeled, but of course, feel free to do so. The reason I left the skin on is because this is where much of the fiber, vitamins and nutrients are!
